APPLY NOW FOR A Sander Thoenes Division II or III Research Grant

Sander came to the College in 1987 from his home in the Netherlands.
After concentrating in Soviet politics and journalism, he produced a
highly original Division III study, “Between Glasnost and a Free Press:
Soviet Journalism in the Gorbachev Years,” which relied heavily on
primary research Sander conducted in Moscow. He went on to report from
dangerous, unsettled places where human rights were in jeopardy,
including Russia and the former republics of the USSR. In September 1999
Sander was killed by Indonesian soldiers as he entered Dili, East Timor,
to report on Timor’s UN-sanctioned vote to separate from Indonesia. He
was then Jakarta correspondent for the Financial Times of London.
Sander’s reporting also appeared in the Christian Science Monitor, US
News and World Report and various other North American and European news
media.

Sander’s death was noted by many admirers, not least Kofi Annan, then
secretary general of the United Nations, who said, “It is largely thanks
to the courage and determination of men and women like Sander that
crimes against humanity are brought to the attention of the world’s
conscience.” Sander was recognized posthumously by the National Press
Club, the Overseas Press Club of America and others. (See
www.memorialforsander.org for more information about him.)

Application for a research grant should include
(1) a 1-2 page description of the Division II or III project,
(2) a reasonably detailed budget and
(3) an accompanying letter of support from the applicant’s Division II
or III chair.
All should be sent in Word format to James Miller jmiller at hampshire.edu
The work being supported must be carried out between now and the end of
Spring Term 2014. Application guidelines are found on the web page
http://www.hampshire.edu/cs/22715.htm

Applications are accepted at any time during the academic year. Award
decisions are made in mid-October, end of February and mid-April.
Several awards are made each year.

Funds for these grants come from an endowment in Sander’s name, which
has been established by the continuing generosity of his many friends
from Hampshire College and from around the world.
